I have a pair of amby doors off a 78-ish 40. They are in pretty good condition - only one or two quarter-sized rust holes in either of them. What are they worth as-is and what are they worth if I strip them down, fix the holes (properly), and prime them? I don't think I'll use them.

Also - I upgraded my '71 from the 3 speed to a 4 speed (forget the model # of the tranny but it's from a 78 I think) - I had to move the t-case hump on the floor back about 10" and need different driveshafts - anyone have complete d-shafts for a '78 40? I have the lengths at home that I'm looking for.

Forward measures when you get them. You may be very close to the length of "stumpy" which is the shaft I ran before I put in a Woody.

Ahhh. Ole stumpy :)

Mike. Good to see you around still. Was just wondering how you'd been and how the project was coming along.
 
Doing well brother, project is coming along, the list of things keeping me from working on it grows larger every year, but one of these days... Biggest motivation is that I want to get either a 45 or a 55 in the garage next ;) Pesky job is really cramping my time in the garage.

Well here's what I've got: 22" for the rear, 30" for the front.

Mike, I do not have a front shaft but will measure the rear and report back. The pic Jason posted is the shaft I'm talking about so you already noticed it's a DC shaft. Not sure if that matters to you. Let me know.

Update: Stumpy is 20.0" fully compressed and 23.0" extended (It will extend more but not without risking the slip yoke coming apart). Because of the DC this is a very limited slip yoke and not intended for any significant amount of flex. If you're planning for off road excursions this is not the shaft for you. I ran it on road only for a couple years before going to a more HD shaft. I put the DC in to keep my vibration down.

Last thing to check is your flange bolt pattern. This is the "post '74" rectangular 60mm x 68mm bolt pattern on both ends.

Let me know your thoughts.

Mike,

Not done talking yet since random thoughts keep coming up ..... Did you change to a 4 speed AND change the TC or did you keep the 3 speed transfer case? I'm assuming you also did not change the flange on the rear diff.

Those issues may lead to you having a mixed bolt pattern between the from and rear. Post up what you have.
 
Wanted: 285/75/16 for a spare. Doesn't need to be pretty, just needs to hold air. Anybody got one?

I have family in Greensboro coming in for a visit on the 26th, that might be able to drag it back that way. If you don't get any other offers before then. Work stops for me in Charlotte on the 23rd, so I'm in Salisbury until the first of the year.
If I can help, let me know.
